Nintendo should copy Sony

Could just be because they thought SotC was one of the most amazing and critically acclaimed unique games they've ever played and think that Nintendo could use another couple games like that.  Or no, it's probably all those things you guys are talking about.  y'know by this logic Nintendo should just go copy Angry Birds since that shits all over NSMB, but that'd be stupid because it wouldn't be the amazing game I assume you guys love to play.  Sales numbers or no there are some games that will be remembered for a really long time as the best that their generation had to offer, and why shouldn't Nintendo get another one of those?  Sure they have tons already, but does one more actually hurt them?  

I know this is a site dedicated to sales, but you guys do know that a game's quality isn't defined by it and you can have an amazing game that doesn't sell millions, right?  Or do you honestly believe everything you say about not bothering to make a game like the one that almost always makes it into top 10's for best games ever?  

I'm sure this all falls on deaf ears, and you'll continue to go on and on about sales while I try and talk about the quality of games. 

So what you trying to say because a game is a franchise multi-instalment hit, that somehow makes it less of a classic than a potential one hit wonder? Listen pal, no matter how many Zelda games, for example, Nintendo makes all of them will be on par and even better than games like SotC. For example, Zelda Wind Waker, why don't you try arguing on this site that this game is any less special or memorable than SotC. Just as much people will love to see another Wind Waker game as much as they will like to see another SotC game.

So while, I agree that sales don't make a good game, try keeping off of Ninty's back, because Nintendo puts infinitely more care and hardwork into each installment of their big first party titles more than any other developer. See the link below about the school or training Ninty put on for making Mario games. That's dedication to perfection regardless of the number of installments in the series.

Or maybe, you're arguing than Nintendo has no new IPs, but what you call games like Pikmin, or Nintendogs. Or maybe Nintendo should revive games like Golden Sun or Earthbound?

Nintendo doesn't need to do anything but be Nintendo, no blood, no guts, just great franchise games.

I'm not your pal, friend.

mk, that out of the way.  I'm not arguing any of that crap, jeezus.  I am saying that Nintendo is not perfect, there is no game like SotC made by Nintendo, maybe that's because they don't give a little group like Team Ico total freedom to just screw around and maybe they should give it a shot.  I'm arguing that just because SotC doesn't sell amazing doesn't mean that Nintendo couldn't use a game like it.  

So to recap, I got into this because I'm so tired of people getting defensive the second someone says Nintendo might be able to work on something.  I swear it's like a religion.  The idea that Shigy isn't an infallible god just gets some people in a frenzy and it's terribly annoying to see.  SotC is an amazing game, Nintendo doesn't have a comparable game, maybe they could look into trying to make a team like team ico.  

Listen Pal, you're obviously no friend of mine cause a fiend of mine wouldn't make such a,..errrr *trying to remember the forum rules*,...anyways, such an inacurate statement like:

"SotC is an amazing game, Nintendo doesn't have a comparable game, maybe they could look into trying to make a team like team ico."

So you telling me that SotC is a more amazing game than Super Metroid, or Mario 64, or how about Zelda OoT?

Pal, I could care infinitely less how much SotC sells, just keep your monkey off Nintendo's back. You want to play games like  SotC then go buy a Sony console, and stop trying to change Nintendo. Nintendo is sucessful because they do what they do well, not like Sony, copying other people's ideas every chance they get.

My luck I pick the one person that doesn't recognize the South Park bit.

You really are taking every word I say as poorly as you possibly can.  I'm saying that they don't have a game that I'd call similar and is constantly brought up in the "are games art?" argument, not that they don't have a game as good as it.  And who even argued that Nintendo needed it, just that it's something they don't happen to have and could be better for its inclusion.  

And I didn't even insult Nintendo and you immediately jump on that to try and bring up your console of choice by bringing down mine.  It's like talking to a cult member.  Y'know I'm not a nintendo hater, but I can understand why your friends mentioned in your sig would badmouth Nintendo in your presence if you immediately jump to badmouthing other people's favorite companies.  Shit, you're making me want to just because your attitude is so infuriatingly one-sided and you seem to intentionally misconstrue everything to make it something worth getting defensive about.  Maybe they're not the issue.

South Park is junk, might be funny, but junk none the less.

Now that's out of the way, no to the OP and no to you. See people like you always have a fix for Nintendo like something is wrong with the company, either their systems are to underpowered or the games are too kiddy. Now they should make games like SotC? The answer is no!

Anyways, I take your point, if it is that you're saying any games maker could use an IP like SotC, but maybe you and the Sony faithful shouldn't go around making it seem like anyone, especially Nintendo, is any less of company because it doesn't have a game like SotC or any other game for that matter.
